In Boston’s poorest neighborhoods infant mortality rose nearly 50 percent amid welfare funding cuts for pregnant women and children. The Harvard study notes black infants face higher death rates, with causes including premature births, low birth weights, poor nutrition, and late prenatal care. Community health officials cite access barriers and outreach efforts to connect high risk mothers with care.
